Explore another side of paradise. This wonderful Old Palm Springs residence is a rare local example of Streamline Moderne style. Enhanced by mature landscape and native boulders, it was built in 1939 by the Van Cleef family from Chicago (who hired architect Richard Neutra to design their Los Angeles residence). The home exhibits excellent examples of moderne style with rounded walls, coffered ceilings, porcelain fixtures and tile work. Open and bright, the sunken living room has a brick fireplace, stamped colored concrete floor and expansive glass wall visually joining it to the inner courtyard. The home occupies a substantial parcel in the Chino Canyon neighborhood and has a compelling connection to the desert beyond. One of several outdoor living/dining areas is a round elevated terrace for magnificent views of the private gardens and towering mountains. There is plenty of room and opportunity to shape this unique home to your vision by incorporating the early modern features that abound here. Create your own private desert oasis on this island style property! The property also has an attached casita (counted in bedroom and bathroom count) that lives as a separate living area complete with bedroom area, bathroom, and kitchen. Perfect for family, guests, or rental potential.
